Millie might've physically been there, but her heart wasn't in the conversation at all. Stefan was talking to her, and she would respond to him sometimes, but she didn't hear a word he said.Stefan had tried everything he could to make her happy with him again. He'd say, "Take a look at this. I made this cake for you myself. You'd make these for my birthdays. Do you remember that?"I have stomach issues, and I'd be in pain for hours after each business meetup. You would sit on the couch and let me rest my head on you while you massaged my belly. "Do you remember the time when I was almost assassinated? You said that we would live or die together and that we would stay by each other's side forever."You told me that you loved me, Millie. Don't you remember any of these?" As far as Millie was concerned, Stefan was dull and tedious. She told him that he shouldn't get hung up on the past and that he should look to the future instead. However, he was stuck in a loop and kept chasin

Stefan enunciated each word as he spoke. The fact was that he had other choices, and they were far nobler than the path he was currently on. However, Millie wasn't a part of them. Just the thought of not having her in his life made him shudder. Stefan wanted Millie for himself, and he wanted Pierce to suffer. Before long, Mark brought the drug over. Stefan then instructed Edith to spike Millie's food and beverages with it every day. It'd take the drug no longer than two weeks to achieve its purpose. By then, it'd be almost time for Pierce to be discharged.Soon, Millie came to realize that her appetite hadn't been good as of late. She couldn't eat much, and her head felt heavy after each meal. On top of that, she kept getting the urge to sleep. She believed that she was easily tired because she didn't have enough nourishment. However, she couldn't even get restful naps. It felt like someone was murmuring next to her ear, and sounds constantly rang in her head.Over two week

"If it wasn't you, then who could it have been?" Millie's eyebrows knitted tightly, and her head hurt so much that it felt like it was splitting apart. Millie hammered her temples in agony. Heartbroken at the sight, Stefan grabbed her hand and said, "I recall it now. I do have a cream allergy. I just forgot about it for a second. "Look at how forgetful I am. When things pile up, I can't remember anything.""Really?""Of course. Who else could it have been?" Stefan was right. Aside from him, she wouldn't have known about anyone else having a cream allergy."Eat the cake." Stefan lovingly rubbed Millie's head. So, Millie let go of her skepticism and chowed down the cake. Stefan stared at her intently as she did so. However, in the sleeves of his coat, his fists were balled. He might've manipulated Millie's memories, but she still held onto some details. She still remembered who Pierce was and that he was allergic to cream. "Do you personally know Pierce?" Stefan hesita

There was an unspoken agreement between Millie and Stefan—they avoided talking about what happened last night. "Can't I go outside?"Stefan was going to Leach Group to work, but Millie was forbidden from moving about. "I'll get off work earlier and take you out to dinner," Stefan answered."But…""Be obedient, Millie. You still haven't fully recovered, and I can't help but worry about you. What if you go out by yourself and get hurt?""Fine, then."Stefan had her best interests at heart, which made it hard for Millie to reject him. After he left, Millie was bored out of her mind. She didn't have her own job, and she had always revolved her whole life around Stefan. So, why did it bother her to stay home now?That was when she thought of Sharon, her best friend. Sharon was a journalist, and she always had scoops about the entertainment circle. Sometimes, chatting with her proved to be particularly amusing. So, Millie gave Sharon a call. However, the latter hung up on h

Millie just didn't get it. "Millie. You're ill, and your psyche hasn't exactly been stable for the past year. I just can't bear the idea of letting you go outside. We'll keep the treatment going for a while, and you'll be free to go where you want," Stefan said. He continued, "Millie. I'm really doing this for your own good. I won't be able to keep going on with my life if something terrible were to happen to you."Millie. Just hold on a little longer, okay? I have a plan to go on a leisure trip with you. We'll get out of the country and take your mind off of things," Stefan sincerely said. Millie might've been a little harsh with him, but he didn't get mad at her at all.Eventually, Millie's heart went soft, and she complied. "Well, what exactly is my condition then? When will I recover?"Stefan explained, "The doctor said it's a mental condition. You were spooked pretty badly. Back when you were first rescued, your head wasn't in the right place, and you locked yourself in the
